Beautiful Zoška

The show is recommended for viewers over 16 years of age.

In 1927, a crime took place in a village near Krakow, which electrified the whole of Poland. The victim is a boy, muse of famous Krakow painters, young Polish model Zofia Paluchowa, known as Piękna Zośka. The only suspect in the case - her husband Maciej, a shoemaker and farmer - pleads not guilty. The judicial process begins. Each subsequent witness brings us closer and closer to the scene of the crime - the Paluch house. In a dark peasant hut, nothing is what it seems. You have to sketch it anew, measure your emotions thoroughly, whitewash the walls so that you can sit at the common table, and plug your ears so as not to hear the scream. We enter a family drama that raises questions about the violence recorded in the rural landscape and folk songs as in our day. Cigarettes and incense are burned on the stage during the performance.

The performance was included in the final of the 30th National Competition for the Exhibition of Polish Contemporary Art.
